There are 2 things i think you would be interested in, at system start. The following 2 tools has some minor issues:

FirstRUN

Internet Connection Wizard

FirstRUN
After making initial changes, the desktop restarts. If you should need or want to revisit FirstRUN (say, Menu>Settings>FirstRUN) one does NOT find their changes showing as one would expect. (Shown attached)

Internet Connection Wizard
There are 3 items of issue in this.

The SMB/CIFS international "valid" characters for a hostname is A-Z, 0-9, and the hyphen character(s). When used in the tool, it is stripping our the hyphen when found.(For example, RACY-RCtest1 is being changed to RACYRCtest1)

When the hostname is changed via the tool, should one want to re-enter to verify, before restarting the desktop, the original information is found in the tool.

And, I have found that most, if not all system fields are attempted to be changed, even though the desktop was not restarted. Fields are:

Even though I still don't see the point of using a kernel that only benefits users with 4 Gb or more of ram........Wary 5.1.110 live saving to a usb flash drive.
Initial boot had working sound and internet (wired dsl) but incorrect screen resolution (1280x1024).Used xorgwizard to change to the nouveau driver and the correct 1366x768 resolution.

installed 5.2beta2 frugal manual pfix=ram to ext4. auto-selected 1920x1080 resolution for HDMI connected tv and on computer screen the display is filled to full width.

This is remarkable is the first time after testing many, very many pups including slacko. now know erroneous assumption prior
releases while capable of displaying 1920x1080 plugged in large screen display could only show a diminished width display on computer monitor.

noticed the auto-chosen driver is versa while I usual use xorg_high.

can mesa work with this? noticed very low system resources usage.

auto-detected broadcom driver on wlan0 and able to make wifi connection with sns without issue.

multi-sound card appears not to work correctly. can not get mplayer to output sound to HDMI.

Manual frugal install to emachines D620 laptop.
The screen resolution and sound were good on first boot, I loaded the
broadcom wireless module in network manager to setup the wireless
network connection.
I updated seamonkey to 241,updated flash player plugin, and installed
some pets.

Racy Puppy, version 5.1.110 on Fri 28 Oct 2011

This one (.110) is fantastic. Everything works OOTB - sound, video, DHCP, etc. and shows none of the issues complained about above on any of my systems. So much better than all the other derivatives, even including Wary.

One tiny matter, (I think raised by DaveS?) : the display in 1024x768, but no other resolutions, is shifted a bit less than half-an-inch to the left. This is a new feature for me but not DS.
